A new study shows possible ways to get drivers to support a raise in the gas tax. Online surveys conducted by sociologists at Michigan State University found that people would be more likely to support a tax hike if they were told it would be spent on energy efficient transportation, infrastructure repair not covered by current taxes, or refunded equally to citizens rather than put in the US Treasury's General Fund. What didn't work was telling drivers what other countries pay for gas. The researchers say, "for people to take action against a threat, it is not sufficient that they believe that the threat is severe and that they are susceptible to its consequences. They also must believe that there are practical ways of protecting themselves against the threat." Read more from Grist.
